LSU has won six of the last seven matchups and taking the trophy back to Baton Rouge. Their only loss was back in 2021 when they lost in overtime to the Razorbacks.

Why is it called the Battle Of The Boot? Well if you look at the map and see Arkansas and Louisiana, it looks like a big old boot, and the trophy the winner of the game gets is shaped exactly like that.

Arkansas and LSU are set to kick off at 6:00 p.m. this Saturday night, September 23rd, 2023 in Baton Rouge. The game will be televised on ESPN and the winner will take home the Battle of the Boot trophy.
